About Us
Our Mission
The premise behind Restoration Oak's Artisan Boutique is the simple, yet profound concept that the true craftsmanship and quality workmanship of artisans around the world should be showcased, shared and appreciated by all. We work tirelessly to find these artisans, many of whom do not have an outlet in the United States and yet deserve to be recognized. It is a privilege to bring the work of these artisans to our customers and we will continue to find unique, one of a kind, home decor to share with you all. We hope you love the work as much as we do.
The Eco Friendly Interior Design Center allows us to showcase green alternatives to flooring, wall coverings, paint, plaster and so much more for your home. We can take your vision and help you refine and perfect it while keeping to a sustainable, green foundation that is safe and healthy, and good for the environment. Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to create your dream space or home-and we can also help you decorate that dream space with beautiful artisan pieces. Our customers have great style and ideas and we are here to help you realize those visions with an emphasis on green design. Let Nature Be Your Canvas.

Omar Rivera - Founder & Partner
Omar Rivera is the Founder of Restoration Oak. His vision to not only create beautiful art from sustainable eco-friendly materials, but to also showcase the art of others, is what led him to pursue his dream of an Artisan Boutique and Eco-Friendly Woodshop/Design Center.
Omar spent years in the import/export arena and has forged strong relationships with artisans throughout the world, and particularly in Colombia, the country of his family’s roots. Omar continues to seek out the unique work and art of talented artisans and sources original home décor items for the boutique. He is also working on a new and exciting passion project, the Restoration Oak Foundation, which has been created to support the work of talented artisans as well as projects and causes that are close to his heart.
Currently a Woodshop Teacher at Clarke High School, Omar utilizes his passion for woodworking and his over twenty-five years of experience in contracting and home design/renovation to teach students the art of woodworking and to fuel their own passions and desires for the field. His creativity, his drive, and his experience are evident to his students who have shown a great interest in learning the skills that he can teach them.
Omar’s twenty plus years of experience in the contracting business have given him a platform to share his knowledge and expertise with anyone that has an interest in learning how to build a piece of furniture, a home decor item or do a DIY home project. He is leading a myriad of workshops and classes in this arena where he guides and teaches those that are interested in learning a new skill, doing a DIY home project, or just having a creative outlet/fun night out. He is also available to consult on DIY projects as well as home design projects where he can help you organize your own vision, give you insider tips, and bring your dream into reality.
